Hillary Clinton Returns to Close Out New York Fashion Week in Next Season’s Buzziest Color

New York Fashion Week may be winding down, but as the adage says, “Save the best for last.” And today, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought her refined sensibilities to the unveiling of the Oscar de la Renta stamp collection. Although we’re often treated to images of Clinton sporting pantsuits, today saw the fashion-forward feminist take a new tack to her signature style, sporting Oscar de la Renta’s shocking pink cashmere wool coat over streamlined black stretch-wool trousers.

The saturated shade has made appearances on the runway at Derek Lam, Ryan Roche, and Victoria Beckham, and on the street in a deeper hue on Kim Kardashian West. However, Clinton certainly demonstrated the power of bold color on today’s occasion. The high-neck style hit Clinton mid-calf for an elongating effect, which was amped up thanks to black trousers and coordinating tonal boots. Adding a touch of shine was an Oscar de la Renta signature: a hammered disc necklace for a polished and prim finish.
